"In 2008, Dickin enlisted in the Canadian Forces primary reserve.

On October 19, 2013, Dickin published through his personal website that a veterans' advocacy group was threatening to assault Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other public officials, and commit various acts of mischief, on Remembrance Day in Ottawa. Dickin included a screenshot of the threat made by the group's President, which said even though the group was not officially "condoning protest," a number of members were suggesting they: spit on elected Members of Parliament, boo the Prime Minister when he spoke at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, or egg MP's and the Prime Minister's office. Dickin said the veterans' advocacy group had "lost all credibility" by threatening such actions against public officials.

On October 28, 2013, The Ottawa Citizen claimed that Dickin was a double agent, trying to use his status as both a current soldier and a Conservative volunteer to discredit the veterans' group.

On October 31, 2013, The Ottawa Citizen reported that Dickin had resigned as a Conservative volunteer, pending an internal military review. Dickin told his fellow Conservatives: "Following the investigation, the Canadian Armed Forces may authorize me to participate in certain activities." Dickin said his blog comments were his personal opinion only, and not made as a representative of the Canadian military or the Conservative Party."
